“Llegamos a Zanzíbar con ciertas dudas y algo de respeto, al tratarse de un destino tan diferente a lo que estamos acostumbrados, pero nos marchamos con una sensación de satisfacción absoluta y con ganas de volver. Queremos destacar especialmente el trato humano, la cercanía y la profesionalidad de todo el equipo del Meliá Zanzíbar. Desde los gerentes, siempre atentos, accesibles y preocupados por el bienestar de los huéspedes, hasta cada uno de los trabajadores, que nos han hecho sentir bienvenidos y cuidados en todo momento. El servicio ha sido extraordinario, la limpieza impecable y la atención constante, siempre acompañada de una sonrisa y una amabilidad que hacen que la estancia sea todavía más especial. Pero si hay algo que merece una mención aparte es la gastronomía. Sinceramente, la comida ha superado todas nuestras expectativas. La calidad de los productos, la variedad, la elaboración y la presentación de cada plato han sido excepcionales. Hemos disfrutado muchísimo de cada comida, algo que valoramos especialmente cuando viajamos. Más allá de las magníficas instalaciones, creemos que el verdadero lujo de este hotel está en las personas que trabajan en él, en su dedicación y en la manera tan cercana y natural con la que consiguen que te sientas como en casa, incluso estando a miles de kilómetros. Nos vamos con un recuerdo maravilloso de Zanzíbar y con la satisfacción de haber elegido el lugar adecuado para disfrutar de nuestras vacaciones. Nuestra más sincera enhorabuena a la dirección y a todo el equipo. Habéis conseguido superar nuestras expectativas y convertir unas vacaciones en una experiencia inolvidable. ¡Muchísimas gracias por todo! Sin duda, un hotel que recomendamos al 100 % y al que nos encantaría regresar.”See hotel

Choosing hotels with pool Zanzibar works particularly well when the island is the relaxing part of a longer trip through Tanzania. After days spent on safari, a pool creates space to slow the pace, swim and enjoy the tropical surroundings before discovering more of Zanzibar.
Meliá Zanzibar combines outdoor relaxation with a coastal location overlooking the Indian Ocean. The hotel has a family and couples profile, alongside spa facilities and an all-inclusive option. For travellers comparing a pool hotel Zanzibar or lodge with pool Zanzibar, it provides a different rhythm from a safari lodge: tropical gardens, ocean views and time beside the water.
Meliá Hotels International features one property in this selection of hotels with a pool in Zanzibar, combining outdoor swimming with a tropical coastal setting.
| Hotel | Category | Profile | Stands out for |
| Meliá Zanzibar | 5* | All-inclusive · Family · Spa · Romantic | Outdoor swimming, tropical gardens and Indian Ocean setting |
The hotel is designed around its natural surroundings, with palms, gardens and views towards the ocean shaping the atmosphere. Meliá also offers villas with private pools, including infinity pools overlooking the Indian Ocean, although these form part of specific accommodation categories rather than the general hotel pool experience.
At Meliá Zanzibar, the pool experience is closely connected to the island landscape. Open-air swimming and spaces for relaxing outside make it possible to spend an unhurried part of the day at the resort, surrounded by tropical vegetation and the atmosphere of the Indian Ocean. Meliá’s own brand material also presents the property through imagery of a pool framed by palms and water.
For travellers arriving after a safari, this change of pace can be particularly appealing: swimming, resting outdoors and enjoying the coastal environment provide a natural contrast to days of game drives and overland travel.
Some accommodation options at the resort add a more private pool experience. Meliá confirms that selected villas feature private infinity pools, terraces and outdoor relaxation areas, with several looking directly towards the ocean.
Zanzibar adds a coastal dimension to a Tanzania itinerary, combining beaches and tropical vegetation with a distinctive cultural heritage. Meliá Zanzibar is set on the northeast side of the island, away from the denser urban atmosphere of Zanzibar City.
Elsewhere on the island, Stone Town introduces a very different side of the destination, with its historic streets and Swahili heritage. Zanzibar is also associated with spice plantations, where cloves and other crops form part of the island’s long trading history.
This variety makes Zanzibar suitable for combining relaxed days by the pool with excursions that reveal the island’s cultural and natural character. For safari travellers, it can also provide a slower final stage after exploring mainland Tanzania.
Abeid Amani Karume International Airport is Zanzibar’s principal air gateway, with connections linking the island to mainland Tanzania and international destinations.
Zanzibar has a warm tropical climate throughout the year, with wetter and drier periods influencing outdoor plans. The drier months are generally convenient for combining pool time, beaches and island excursions. If Zanzibar forms part of a safari itinerary, the ideal dates also depend on the mainland parks you plan to visit, as wildlife conditions vary between regions and seasons.

Within Meliá Hotels International, Meliá Zanzibar is the property featured in this selection of hotels with a pool in Zanzibar. Its appeal lies in combining outdoor swimming with tropical surroundings and an Indian Ocean setting rather than in a comparative ranking against other properties. Travellers searching for Meliá Zanzibar hotel, hotel Meliá Zanzibar or Meliá hotel Zanzibar can also find selected villas with private infinity pools for a more secluded swimming experience.
Yes, particularly if Zanzibar follows a mainland safari itinerary. The outdoor pool environment offers a change from game drives, allowing time for swimming and relaxing in tropical surroundings without needing to plan another excursion. Meliá Zanzibar can therefore work as the slower coastal stage of a trip that also includes Tanzania’s safari regions.
Meliá Zanzibar is a coastal resort with an Indian Ocean setting and access to Zanzibar’s seaside environment. Its tropical gardens, ocean-facing areas and proximity to the coast allow pool time to be combined naturally with days beside the sea. This makes the property suitable for travellers specifically considering a hotel Zanzibar stay after spending time inland.

Zanzibar can be visited throughout the year, but the island’s drier periods are generally convenient if swimming, outdoor relaxation and excursions are priorities. The best dates for a combined safari-and-Zanzibar trip also depend on which mainland wildlife areas are included in the itinerary.
